Blessing given

May 4, 2015

Elder R. was going to take his nightly
shower. As he was stepping into the
shower, he noticed his foot was turning black on the underneath side. In his sudden panic he didn’t think about the
soccer accident of a few weeks ago. He
was just concerned that his foot was going to die and fall off.

He grabbed Elder O., called us, and headed
to the hospital. Looking very much a
missionary, he opened the doors of the hospital to go inside. The waiting room was filled with people
waiting to see a doctor. Immediately the
Elders were spotted by a young father holding a sick baby. He rushed up to them and said, “I’m so glad
you have arrived. I have been praying
for you. My baby is sick and needs a
priesthood blessing.”

It always amazes me how Heavenly Father puts
people together and acts on sincere faithful prayers. The baby received a blessing and Elder
R. spent a night in the hospital on IV.
His toe that he had smashed during his soccer game had turned into an
infection. Within days he was back out
going at full power. But more importantly, a father and baby had been cared for
on that night in the hospital.
